Raven and Turkey Vulture

Cathartes aura

Description:

There was some roadkill nearby. There were a small flock of Turkey Vultures and a singular Raven who wanted to be heard. While the vulture wasn't intimidated, the raven tried various methods of attack. Pecking and using his claws were among his favorite. By the way, he lost and the vultures took over the carrion with his screeching 5 feet away.
